Topic: possible good base gravy

[stevejet66]

Ive had the pot on the go today for tonights curry, will post pics later,
i decided to make a pot of chicken stock rather than add whole spices in a simmering water to add to the base later. i think this will have an impact on any base gravy, so far its smelling how i want it to, taste test will follow later on the finished dish. worth a try!

1 small fresh chicken/ parted
1 carrot peeled and chopped
1 onion chop into large peices
1/2 stick celery chopped
2 bay leaves
small sprig of tyme
tsp black pepper
pinch of salt

put everything in a large pot, cover with water and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, let it go cool and strain, add this to the base instead of water.
can be tried with any base recipe on here.

Update: base has now cooked and ive got to say the taste is amazing, it adds a whole new contrast to the flavour, its more what im searching for.
